What is that software?
Is it taking a known case and filling it with fan choices?No it's not... It's just reporting temps. How awesome would that be though?The Corsair Hydro H80i has an internal usb connector that connects to your motherboard, so after you install the software it you can then monitor all the hardware connected like the HDD, or the GPU, etc as you can see I can control my Video card fan speeds from here too when or if needed, I can also set warnings and actions based on temperatures or just use the LED lights on the cooler to change colors according to temperature blue being cold to orange to red. The great thing is when you start a render you can see the load and temps go up slightly showing that all is well. If you have additional case fans it can even control those, a real nifty bit of engineering and an easy way to maintain and control temperatures of a work horse machine.

When I look in the bios, it stands that the ram is 800 MHz but it is 1600 MHz so what could be wrong, could I overclock it?

Not necessarily overclock it, set it to the manufacturers specs, most bios setting are default and folks do not set the ram speeds when installing new ram, so before doing anything make sure you have matching ram (same brand and speed as you are only as fast as your slowest ram) get info from the manufacturers site on speed settings and understand the multipliers if you are using an i7 based mobo, go onto their forum and ask questions if needed, post images if possible in order to get accurate replies.

What have you set? "Auto"? Try "XMP" or set it manually.
Or you can look if there is a newer BIOS version available and see if this fixes the RAM detection. -

If your CPU is overclocked do not touch the XMP option, rather set Ram values in 'manual', do not use XMP and alter clock multipliers and Base clock values it will end in tears, or at least you will most probably need to do a cmos reset which involves jumpers and system battery.
I have been there and ended up having to remove my GPU in order to remove and replace my sys battery then do jumpers and after that you need to set in your time and date then re-authorize your windows installation...it's a bitch.
However if you just select XMP and all other values are default then it's worth the try.
It's also a good thing to stress test, try Prime95 as it's free and does a good torture test.

I have not chance any settings for the ram.
I have test prim95 to stress test my overclocking but because a choose the case I do I have just come up to 3.9 GHz and then the temp of the processor is up to nearly 70° so I stop at 3.8 GHz. I would try this weekend to rotate the hdd cage so I could get through more air there and hopefully I can get the temp down I littel
I read somewhere that you get the tempature down if you remove the grill for the exhaust fan at the back so I going to think about that.

it stay that it´s on 800MHz instead of 1600, any ide why?
-
Do you have CPU-Z? post image of CPU, Memory and SPD pages if you can.

ahh, ok... this is the normal setting for 1600MHz. DDR stands for Double Data Rate, so 800MHZ = 1600MHZ, as displayed in your screenshot.
...but cl 11 is a bit slow. cl 10 should be possible or is this the normal spec for 1600 for this RAM?

Here is all the information

I was thinking about get some new fans, backside of the CPU cooler, exhaust fan at the back any mayby set a fan in the three 5.25 bays. Do you have any tip on a fan that have good airflow relatively to sound?
-
Yes, i can quote myself...

I think a front fan is not absolutely neccessary. One case fan on the backside could be enough.
If you want to install one, i would take one with 800-1200rpm i think and then use the fan control of the BIOS (UEFI) to adjust it to maybe ~600-900rpm. The Scythe GT is very good, but very expensive too. You could also take a Yate Loon for ~5€ or a Thermalright (not sure about the product numbers - you should look for some reviews). They should be good enough as a case fan.http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=179&t=49270&start=30#p452520

I found "Aerocool Shark Fan Evil Black Edition - 120mm" and this look very good if you look cfm/dm and it doesn't cost so much either. It blow 82,6 cfm and sound 26,5 db plus it comes with a reduction cable so it goes down from 12 V to 7 V and then it blow sound 12,6 db amd blow 32,5 cfm. And this one cost about 50% less

What does cl stands for and how do I chance it?
